Digital tools to promote sustainable food consumption are becoming more popular. However, there is a lack of thorough evaluation to determine their impact on consumer behavior. Previous studies have mainly focused on user intentions rather than real-world behavior, leaving a gap in understanding how these tools influence long-term dietary practices and sustainability outcomes. Additionally, much of the existing research has focused on general health-oriented food apps rather than those explicitly targeting sustainability, meaning there is limited knowledge of how apps perform in this niche but vital area. This study aims to address these research gaps by thoroughly evaluating food applications promoting sustainable consumption in Sweden, providing valuable insights into how digital tools can drive meaningful and lasting changes in consumer behavior.
